The C.A.R.B.-compliant nozzles supplied with NATO-style fuel cans can wreck your filler pipe. I found out the hard way. The owner’s manual does state not to put anything in the filler neck except for a pump nozzle or the funnel supplied by Ford. My bad for not reading that section and assuming...

I went with the Rocky Road Outfitters - "Ranger Full-Cover-Kicker Rock Sliders - Powdercoat, Full Diamond Plate" . The primary rail sits outside the pinch weld and covers the full length of the seam. I had mine welded on at the recommendation of the installer.

I have the AVS, same as CollieDog. Simple install. No car wash, noise or vibration issues. Makes my white Ranger (not racist) look like an unibrow anime character.

Sooooo, I might be an idiot but I DO turn off the A/C and run at idle for maybe 20-30 seconds before shutdown. This is in an attempt to lessen the under-hood temp by allowing the cooling fluid circulation and fan action to continue without the A/C condenser active. This also allows the turbo to...

Installed 2 Wavian 5-gallon Jerry Cans. Parts list: 2 ea. - Wavian Jerry Cans. 2 ea. - Smittybilt p/n 2798 holders. 8 ea. - ¼-20 stainless steel rivet nuts set in the truck bed aft of wheel wells. Used a 5/32” drill for pilot-holes, a 23/64” for the rivet nuts. Nuts were installed with an...

Finally had a chance at a good long run... a round -trip from Mesa, AZ to Vegas. That's 684.4 miles. Total MPG was 25.7. That included some small portion of city driving. There was one leg that was pure highway in light traffic of 216 miles. MPG for that segment was 26.2. Just turned over 3K on...

The Yaesu FT8900R has a detachable faceplate that houses all the manual controls and the mic input. I didn’t want to mount the entire unit on top of the dash to keep it in the line-of-sight, so I’ll take advantage of the detachable feature. When I find the correct mount-stalk for the faceplate...

How did you route your cable? I looked into the Bulletproof Diesel set up but thought this thru-vent would be easier. Still considering a 3rd brake-lite for future antennas. (Larson also has a 3rd lite option.)

See my recent post. Includes photos on how to use the cabin vents as a pass-thru. Cheers! KG7LYL https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/diamondback-ham-vhf-uhf-antenna-mount.12412/#post-244026

Antenna install Parts: Comet 3D4MB 4 meter (~13’) Cable w/PL-259 connectors (~$25.00) Comet RS-720 Hatch/Trunk Lip mount (~$30.00) Mount Modifications: With a hacksaw remove the lip portion so the base is just a flat surface. With a razor blade, pliers and Dremel w/cutoff wheel, remove the...

Awesome... thanks! I looked up the NR770 and ditto LoneRNGR's reply. I'm new to HAM and had to look up the aluminum issue. I found threads related to aluminum-bodied F-150's. Apparently, though aluminum is non-ferrous, it is conductive for purposes of RF (not electrical) ground. I'm looking...

This is genius. Sorry... bunch of questions: What bands are you covering with that antenna? Is that your ground plane or are you using a half-wave antenna. What's your SWR? How did you route the coax into the cab? I have the unpainted, diamond-plate Diamondback on my '20 and have been...

How did you mount your antenna (magnetic, drilled, 3rd brakelight adapter) and route the wire?

Did the https://mountains2metal.com/ Bumper Grille insert install because Arizona is made out of rocks. Easy-peasy, 5 minute job. Ordered on the 17th, received and installed on the 20th.

They are separate. Given how the bottom and back both fold... you have a challenge on your hands. Good luck!

Once a Chief... always a Chief

Another example of a Coverking Custom Molded Dash Cover, in Charcoal, in a '20 Lariat. Sixty-four bucks plus $11 shipping, ordered direct from Coverking. Fits every contour precisely.

I've got the Coverking Neoprene in my '20 Lariat... comfortable and easy to install.

Thanks again! I will likely pick up the catch can and install it when close to warranty expiration. The other-than-valve issues you mention are exactly why I installed one on my LS6 motored Cadillac CTS-V. Why these are not an option or standard equipment must be testimony to sales gimmickry...

Thanks for the detailed response Steve. Does Mishimoto have any stats on DI engines in general regards how long it takes to build up carbon to a detrimental level, presuming I do everything else right (i.e.: top grade gas, frequent oil changes, don't lug, let turbo spool down before shutoff, etc.)?
